iraq managed to smuggle a lot of oil out through its northern territories through syria, et cetera. i wouldn't be surprised if iran is trying to do the same thing. of course most of the traffic along the persian gulf we can watch pretty carefully. we have a lot of reconnaissance capability there. they could still get some out in small boats. they could get some out to the north or through afghanistan. but of course the areas to their north and east are not very prosperous or not very good trade routes for a lot of oil. so my guess you're right to have that concern but it is probably in the realm of, at most a couple hundred thousand barrels a day, not going to compensate for the loss from the sanctions. melissa: what about this idea that their uranium enrichment for medical research purposes or energy use? i mean they always make that argument. is there any possibility that's the case in your opinion? >> no. because they're enriching much more than they would need. they of course never declared their enrichment sites until they were discovered by some kind of dissident group or some
